AI agents call bmlt_get_formats to retrieve information from Bmlt without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a straightforward read operation that queries and returns metadata about meeting formats. It has no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute code or commands, and does not involve financial transactions. The scope is limited to retrieving descriptive reference information.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'bmlt_get_formats' and description 'Retrieve all meeting format codes' indicate a data retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution capability.

Retrieve all meeting format codes and their descriptions from a BMLT root server. Formats describe the type of meeting — e.g. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Bmlt MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Bmlt MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for bmlt_get_formats: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Bmlt. Nothing to install.
bmlt_get_formats is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the bmlt_get_formats rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for bmlt_get_formats. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
bmlt_get_formats is provided by the Bmlt MCP server (jbonjour/bmlt-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
